Scare involving Bade: One and a half minutes "completely gone"
Bayer Leverkusen had to concede defeat to Christian Ilzer and TSG Hoffenheim on Sunday evening. Loic Bade caused a scary moment in the process.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen lost to TSG Hoffenheim on Sunday evening with a 3-0 score!
However, the result is not the only thing causing concern for Bayer coach Carles Martinez.
"He is talking"
Defender Loic Bade fell motionless to the ground after a heavy collision with Max Moerstedt in stoppage time. In the following minutes, Bade received intensive treatment on the field.
However, Martinez can now cautiously give the all-clear: "The most important thing is that he's better. He is talking," said the Leverkusen coach in an interview with "DAZN".
The Frenchman was reportedly "completely gone" for about one and a half minutes. Furthermore, he "remembered nothing," as Martinez reported. However, the 26-year-old's condition is now "normal" again.
Prass's Celebration Blunder
Leverkusen ultimately lost the match 0-3, with Austrian international Alexander Prass also scoring for TSG Hoffenheim. However, due to his goal celebration, the Austrian was immediately sent off afterwards.
